Token Economy

Leadership Model Jim Forrest was a skilled professional in related issues managing in substance abuse. Forrest had the opportunity to utilize his abilities as a lead in a mental health center. Forrest began his search for new employees by interviewing each person the same. Forrest talked to each candidate in the same style rather than finding out their strengths and weaknesses so he would have a better idea of where to place them to assist with client care. Although Forrest noticed positive change in client care, he also noticed concerns with his employees slowly surfacing. Forrest began to question his professional relationship with each member of his staff. It is important to recognize leadership comes in various styles to provide applicable direction to accomplish specific objectives in the workplace. Supervisory leadership must discuss the task and goals set for the organization clearly to its employees. Contingency Theory believes individuals are different; therefore there is not one way that is the best way of leading a team. Contingency Theory takes a look at the bigger picture that contains dynamics about supervisory leadership skill and other variables within the circumstances. Success of any organization is influenced by a variety of reasons, one of which is leadership style. One style of leadership may not be appropriate in some cases, however may be best in others. Supervisory Process

There are 4 main steps in the supervisory process. The first is the beginning phase of the purpose of the supervisor. One of the elements of this process is obtaining reviews from staff and discussing concerns and ideas to make working together more productive (Lewis, Packard, & Lewis, Chapter 7, 2007). In case 7, Jim did not get feedback from his new staff about the implementation of the token economy. The middle phase of the process is the stage where Jim should have realized that his way was not working for everyone; he should have been...

...Token ring is a local area network protocol which resides at the data link layer (DLL) of the OSI model. It uses a special three-byte frame called a token that travels unidirectionally around a star-wired logical ring. Token ring frames travel completely around the loop. The name 'Token Ring' is misleading since the physical topology is a loop.
Each station passes or repeats the special token frame around the ring to its nearest downstream neighbor. This token-passing process is used to arbitrate access to the shared ring media. Stations that have data frames to transmit must first acquire the token before they can transmit them. Token ring LANs normally use differential Manchester encoding of bits on the LAN media.
Token ring was invented by Olof Söderblom in the late 1960s. It was later licensed to IBM, who popularized the use of token ring LANs in the mid 1980s when it released its IBM token ring architecture based on active multi-station access units (MSAUs or MAUs) and the IBM Structured Cabling System. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE (http://www.ieee.org) later standardized a token ring LAN system as IEEE 802.5 (http://www.ieee802.org/5/).
Token ring LAN speeds of 4Mbps, 16Mbps, 100Mbps and 1Gbps have been standardized by the IEEE 802.5 working...

...Ethernet vs. Token Ring Topology
Ethernet and Token Ring LAN technologies operate in different ways and both systems have their inherent advantages and disadvantages. The decision on which topology to use can be influenced by a number of factors. The most common factors to consider are cost, reliability, speed, size, administration, security and growth.
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in use during the 1990s to the present day. Each network peer has a globally unique 48-bit key known as the MAC address factory-assigned to the network interface card (NIC), to ensure that all systems in an Ethernet LAN have distinct addresses. Due to the ubiquity of Ethernet, many manufacturers build the functionality of an Ethernet card directly into a motherboard.
Ethernet LAN
The advantages of Ethernet are cost, availability of materials, the fact that most PCs come with network cards that support Ethernet connectivity and speed. Data transfer rates can range from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. The main disadvantages are as network loads increase performance goes down and troubleshooting network issues can be difficult if you are using a bus topology....

...﻿“Taxing hard up Americans at 95%”
Essay
From time to time, the United States of America has dealt with many up and downs, when comes to its economy. Therefore programs like the welfare have been created and designed in order to help society get back on their feet. Yet many different questions arise throughout the country, when it comes to welfare aid programs. Such questions like, welfare benefits pays more that an entry level job? Or the welfare is being too generous to lower class people. As a result in my macro economy class each student was assigned with a very interesting article titled “taxing hard up Americans at 95%”. This article we are supposed to analyze based on economic terms and theories from previous lectures discussed in class.
To begin with, while reading throughout this article I saw many economic theories and terms. Theories like how people are rational when it comes to making choice, how they respond to incentives and how they act on the margin. Meanwhile, in the first two paragraph of this article “taxing hard up American at 95%”. There is a case about a woman named “Melissa Devilma. Basically, she was a “homeless, jobless and alone need it in help”. Therefore, the welfare program gave her an amount of money and food stamps each month. They also helped her with housing assistance. Then by adding up the health care plus money cash, food stamps and taxpayer, it came with a total of thirty three thousand dollars. However,...

This essay will compare the relationship between saving and investment of two schoolers view, which is Keynes and Classical economist view. In great depression Keynes argued with classical economist view of relationship between saving and investment. The key theory of Keynes is that the real consumption depends on disposable income. This theory can explain as C = C(Y) In that case consumption (C) and disposable income (Y) are measured in units. The background of this theory is in 1920’s classical economist who follows Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Say dominated capitalism state economy. According to classical economist, in economic system, recession is impossible or it will be sort it out by invisible hand. (Kates, 2009) However 1920’s great depression cannot be explain and solve with their theory. According to Say’s law a product is no sooner created, than it, from that instant, affords a market for other products to the full extent of its own value, in other words supply creates their own demand. (Kates, 2009) To make any goods, firms need money for materials, labor source and transport, which is income for work force. The income for workforce lead to consumption of goods therefore there is no excess demand and full employment will occur. But why there is unemployed exist in real world? In classical economist view is that who are an unemployed is because of they works demand for high wages which is they are not deserved. If work force accepts low wages...

...is Singapore. Without the global market, an economy that is substantially export-orientated such as Singapore would not be able to function. The global market plays a vital role in the economic development strategies that Singapore implements. Globalization plays a major role in the concerns all over the world, and this is clearly shown in Singapore.
Singapore is the economic, financial and technological capital of South-East Asia. The country has a highly developed trade-oriented market economy. Singapore's economy has been ranked as the most open in the world, least corrupt, most pro-business, with low tax rates and one of the highest per-capita gross domestic products in the world. The economy of Singapore is a major Foreign Direct Investment outflow financier in the world, and the economy of Singapore has benefited from the inward of Foreign Direct Investment from due to Singapore's attractive investment climates.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Singapore contracted 1 percent in the third quarter of 2013 over the previous quarter. From 2007 until 2013, Singapore GDP Growth Rate averaged 5.4 Percent reaching an all-time high of 36.4 Percent in March of 2010 and a record low of -13.0 Percent in September of 2010. Since gaining independence in 1963, Singaporean economy has been growing rapidly and as a result the country has now one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. ...

...﻿Southeast Asian Economy (Myanmar)
As the second largest country in terms of land size in Southeast Asia, Myanmar borders five nations and is endowed with rich natural resources----minerals, oil and gas, forestry, water and marine resources. With its accession to ASEAN in 1997, Myanmar has achieved remarkable economic and political progresses ever since, and it is now facing new development opportunities due to the establishment of its new government in 2011.
1. National Objectives
The national objectives of Myanmar can be presented from both political and economic perspectives.
The political objective of Myanmar is to further promote political reforms as well as the reconciliation between local ethnic armed groups and central government troops in order to maintain a stable environment for social and economic development. ①With the establishment of Myanmar’s new government on Mar. 31, 2011, a number of new political policies have been initiated, such as the liberation of political prisoners and the registration of opposing political parties and leaders. In accordance with its political reforms, some of the previous international sanctions have been recently relaxed by international community, which is regarded as a signal to encourage a further progress on Myanmar’s political reform. ②After Myanmar’s independence from the British government in 1948, continuous conflicts between local ethnic armed groups and central government troops remain a severe...

...daily. Most of the goods that
we use are mass produced in very large quantities. The basic rule of thumb in economics dictates
that the more goods produced leads to less production cost per item. The cost of living decreases
with industrialization and technology but industrialization also brings up its own problems.
Agricultural economy is fueled by farming. Farmers play an important role in any society because
they feed people. Farming has been valued in almost every nation. Farmers has known to be the
nation's life and farmers were seen as an example of economic virtues such as hard work, self-
sufficiency, initiative, pride and productivity. On the other hand, Industrial economy has been
seen as the backbone and the strength of the nation. The stronger the industry is in one nation, the
more strength, power, technology that the nation possesses. In other words, industrialized nations
in the world are the ones that are economically developed, stable and seize political power and
influence. In this essay, I would like to discuss the transition economies in the world and show
how these transition economies are affected.
The biggest change that the revolution created was an industrialized society in which
large scaled mechanized manufacturing replaced farming as the main source of jobs. Farmers
used to grow their own food and made the products they need and use at home and sold...

...﻿Assignment #1
An analysis of Hungary's Economy
Abstract
I analyzed three parts of Hungary's economy from 1994 to 2009: real GDP growth, unemployment rate, and inflation rate. Unemployment and inflation share a similar time trend, compared to real GDP growth which is almost exactly opposite. This shows the relationship between all of the variables. As unemployment and inflation were going down from 1994 to around 2001, real GDP was increasing and remaining steady at a high plateau. As GDP fell in 2003, both inflation and unemployment started increasing. (EconLit E240, E310)
Hungary's Economy
After transferring the data for real GDP growth, unemployment and inflation from the OECD Statistical Annex Tables into graphs, it was possible to better analyze the behaviors of these variables.
The graph below, Figure 1, is shows a relationship between real GDP growth and time in Hungary between 1994 and 2009. As shown by the dashed time trend line, there is no time trend noticeable as the level in 2009 (approximately 2.9%) is very close to that of 1994 (approximately 3.1%). Between the years of 1997 and 2005, a cyclical behavior is seen with the percentage growth going up and down with every year. There is a peak in the GDP growth rate in the year 2000 at about 5.2%. A low-point is seen in 1996 and 2007 at about 1.3%. There could be multiplicative seasonality, but there is not sufficient information to make this assumption.
